Ten Cans of 'Desolate Heavenly Emperor' Brand Beast Milk (Revised)

Time flew by like a long period of cultivation, and Xiao Yao spent it alone in silence.

Time slipped away like flowing water, while Xiao Yao remained steadfast in this little world of his, cultivating quietly as he awaited the day to come.

Today, three years later, Xiao Yao could finally breathe a sigh of relief. Sitting on his bed with his legs crossed and his hands forming seals, it was as though the entire world had come to a standstill.

The surrounding Dou Qi seemed to answer some sort of summons, surging toward Xiao Yao and merging into his body, nourishing his torso and limbs as his entire body gave off a golden glow.

The spectacle was so great that even the courtyard shone brilliantly. Anyone passing by the courtyard where Xiao Yao lived would have noticed the disturbance.

Xiao Yao could feel that powerful force flowing through his body. Like a dragon lurking deep within, it had finally awakened at this moment.

Xiao Yao closed his eyes and took a deep breath, allowing the power to travel through every corner of his body without missing a single spot.

At last, Xiao Yao exhaled and opened his eyes.

A determined light flickered in his eyes, as though he could see through all illusions.

Xiao Yao said softly, "This Human Physique rewarded by the system can actually let me easily absorb Dou Qi to nourish this body, making it increasingly stronger."

Over the past three years, Xiao Yao had absorbed the Dou Qi of the outside world day after day to nourish his meridians and bones.

Every cultivation session was like brushing past death, yet he never gave up. Xiao Yao knew that only through such tempering could he go farther in the future.

Thus, Xiao Yao could now proudly say that the strength of this body was already comparable to that of a fourth-tier magical beast.

Though it was only a small achievement, it held extraordinary meaning for Xiao Yao.

"Ding! Congratulations to the host for persisting day after day and successfully obtaining the 'Perseverance' achievement. The host is rewarded with one scroll of the All-Character Secret Dou Technique. Note: This cultivation technique has been modified by the system. This Dou Technique can multiply the user's strength, up to a maximum of tenfold. Only upon reaching the major achievement realm can it display its proper power, raising the user's cultivation by a full tenfold. Otherwise, this ability is difficult to trigger."

After hearing this, Xiao Yao stored the reward in the System Space and officially began cultivating. Sitting on his bed, he lightly controlled his body. With every breath, the Dou Qi between heaven and earth entered his body through his breathing, circulated through his meridians, and formed a faint stream of energy in his dantian.

At this moment, Xiao Yao sat cross-legged on the bed with his eyes shut. With every breath, a multicolored current entered through his nose and mouth, spreading throughout his body. It was absorbed and refined by his bones and meridians before finally gathering in his dantian. The faint stream at the center of his dantian slowly condensed, becoming thicker and more solid.

These days, Xiao Yao had constantly cultivated Dou Qi. When he felt his dense Dou Qi reach its critical point, a faint sound rang out. Crack! He had finally broken through and successfully reached the first stage of Dou Qi.

Xiao Yao concentrated with his eyes tightly shut, sensing the sound of Dou Qi flowing through his meridians. When he opened his eyes and looked at his right wrist, a golden current coiled around it, flashing with dazzling light.

Xiao Yao stretched out his left hand and felt the warmth and power of the energy currents that had condensed several times. Is this the difference between ordinary people and cultivators?

"Ding! Congratulations to the host for successfully cultivating to the first stage of Dou Qi and obtaining the 'Minor Cultivation Achievement' achievement. The host is rewarded with ten cans of beast milk. Note: This item is the same beast milk loved by Shi Hao in Perfect World."

Xiao Yao hurriedly took a can of beast milk from the System Space and examined it. He found that it was no different from the dairy products he usually drank. When he opened the can, a rich milky fragrance greeted him, making him unable to resist taking a sip.

Xiao Yao raised the can to his lips and gently took a mouthful, feeling the sweet flavor spread through his mouth.

The beast milk had a rich, mellow taste, slightly different from what Xiao Yao usually drank. It seemed to contain some special power.

Xiao Yao closed his eyes and carefully sensed the changes within his body. Sure enough, before long, he felt a warm current flowing through his muscles and bones, as though it were nourishing his body.

Xiao Yao knew that the beast milk was taking effect. Not only could it improve his muscles and bones, but it could also make his body even stronger.

The change made him both pleasantly surprised and excited, for it would help him travel farther on his future path of cultivation.

Xiao Yao continued savoring the beast milk slowly, every mouthful seeming to contain endless mysteries and power.

He could feel it gradually merging into his body, connecting with his bloodline and becoming part of his own strength.

After finishing the can of beast milk, Xiao Yao felt completely renewed and filled with strength.

Xiao Yao saw his body radiating golden light as the Human Physique gradually awakened. Thinking of the Tribulation Lightning the system had mentioned before, he knew that successfully enduring it would make his body even stronger.

At the thought of others striking him with Dou Techniques without causing him any harm, Xiao Yao could not help imagining himself casually saying, "Brother, are you even trying? Put some strength into it. Haven't you eaten?" Seeing the other person's life-doubting gaze, he immediately laughed aloud.

Xiao Yao regarded the remaining nine cans of beast milk as a precious resource. They could help him build a more solid and stable foundation for cultivating Dou Qi.

Xiao Yao stood up, walked to the window, and looked out at the world beyond it.

Sunlight fell over him, warm and bright.

Xiao Yao knew that this was only the beginning. The road ahead was still long, and he would need to keep working hard and moving forward.

However, he was not afraid, because Xiao Yao possessed the strongest physique and the rewards granted by the system. He had this powerful strength supporting him.

Xiao Yao believed that as long as he persevered, he would be able to overcome any difficulty or challenge.

Returning to his bed once more, Xiao Yao sat with his legs crossed and began a new round of cultivation.

Xiao Yao knew that only by constantly cultivating and improving himself could he gain a foothold in this world.

And now, Xiao Yao already had enough strength and confidence to face the challenges ahead.

Over the course of that year, Xiao Yao spent half his time absorbing Dou Qi and using beast milk to improve his physique, while spending the other half cultivating Dou Qi to raise his cultivation. Though his Human Physique had not improved much, his cultivation had at least reached the seventh stage of Dou Qi.

It was time to ask his father for some cultivation resources.

At that moment, Xiao Yao arrived outside his father's room, gently knocked on the door, and asked, "Father, are you there?"

The door soon opened, and his mother stepped out. When she saw Xiao Yao, she revealed a gentle smile and opened her arms to hug him.

"Yao'er, why are you here? Is something wrong?" his mother asked with concern, lightly pinching Xiao Yao's little cheek as though she wanted to express her love and indulgence through the gesture.

Xiao Yao smiled faintly and replied, "Mother, I came to see Father about something." As he spoke, Xiao Yao took a list containing information about medicinal herbs from his pocket and handed it to his father.

Good thing I copied down several lists of medicinal herbs from my memories in advance.

His father took the list and carefully examined its contents. Then he looked up at him and asked, "Yao'er, what does this mean? These are all first-grade medicinal herbs. Don't tell me you plan to refine medicine? You need to reach the Dou Practitioner realm before you can begin refining medicine."

Xiao Yao nodded and replied, "Yes, Father. Although my cultivation has not yet reached the Dou Practitioner realm, I really do want to try refining medicine first. I think refining medicine may be a good choice. It can help me better understand how to use cultivation resources, and I only plan to study it in advance. I will not be refining medicine so soon."

Upon hearing this, his father fell silent for a while before nodding. "Yao'er, your idea is good, but refining medicine is not easy. It requires a great deal of effort and time. Are you sure you are prepared?"

Seeing the serious expression on Xiao Zhan's face, Xiao Yao answered firmly, "Yes, Father. I am ready. I will work hard to learn the techniques and methods of refining medicine, and strive to master this craft as soon as possible."

After hearing Xiao Yao's words, his father nodded in satisfaction and expressed his support for Xiao Yao's decision.

"In a few days, I will prepare several portions of the medicinal herbs on your list and send them to your courtyard. I will also send you some books on how to absorb the Dou Qi between heaven and earth, so you can begin trying to cultivate as well."

"Alright, Father, Mother. Then Yao'er will go back and continue cultivating first."

Thus, Xiao Yao turned around, closed the door behind him, and returned to his room to continue his previous cultivation.
